We’re back from some Memorial Day festivities to check in on the Baseball Daily Media Experts League! Here is a look at the league standings after Week 5:

Highlights from Week 5:

• Chad Finn (Hack Finns) leads the league in wins (69) with but Doug Glanville’s (Teaneck Steel Drums) squad has the highest run differential at +122.
• Steve Gardner’s (Madison Square Gardners) pitching staff and defense takes over the top spot in run suppression, allowing 406. 
• Division leaders: WEST: Finn (Hack Finns),  CENTRAL: Doug Glanville (Teaneck Steel Drums), EAST: Jon Miller (Bora Bora Lagoon)
• HR Leaders: Mike Trout (Marc Stein) – 37, Giancarlo Stanton (also Stein!) – 37, Mark Reynolds (Jared Diamond) – 36
• RBI Leader: Zimmerman (Glanville) – 88
• BA Leader: Mike Trout (Stein) – .336
• Notable pitching performances: Ervin Santana (Finn) – 12-3, 2.06 ERA, 0.97 WHIP; Clayton Kershaw (Joe Sheehan) – 10-5, 2.28 ERA, 0.99 WHIP; Gerrit Cole (Will Leitch) – 9-4, 2.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP; Sean Manaea (Gardner) – 9-4, 2.55 ERA, 1.02 WHIP
• Marc Stein’s team has slugged a league-leading 178 home runs in 108 games, finally dethroning Doug Glanville! However, Glanville reigns supreme in RBI with 521. 
• Jon Miller has the best team ERA at 3.47. His pitchers have pitched 21 complete games!
• Stuart Miller hits a bit of a rough stretch as his team makes 8 errors in 3 games against Joe Lemire but manages to take a game back. 
• They only needed one run to take the lead in the top of the 17th, but the Gardners got 6 insurance runs to take down Derrick Goold and the Tower Grove Mundys. However, the Mundys got the last laugh by taking 2 from the defending champ. 
• Jared Diamond and Doug Glanville trade shutouts in the middle of the week, with Brad Peacock pitching a 1-hitter. 
• More bad luck for Stuart Miller against Will Leitch, as Miller outhits him in every game of his weekend series, but still gets swept.
